Testimonials
I recently worked with Abby Jones to increase my GRE scores. I am applying for a Master of Special Education program at UVA. Abby was a wonderful tutor. She showed me strategies to better understand the different sections of the verbal sections and we worked a few problems in each section. She helped to make the GRE something I could succeed at when I felt like it was a mountain that I could not ever climb. My verbal score increased almost 150 points and that was enough of an increase to achieve the required score (with points to spare). Abby was prompt in returning my call and meeting with me. She quickly understood my learning style and used our time very efficiently. I highly recommend her tutoring for children and adults.
Thank you,

I have good news to report. Ashley Beavers will be going to Flint Hill for 9th grade. It was her first choice. I thank you Laura for scheduling Tina as Ashley's tutor. I especially want to thank you Tina for all of your help and suggestions and your close working with Ashley. I know she benefited. Good luck to both of you.
Again thanks,

I just had to drop you a note to let you know that Alexis was accepted in the Biomedical Research Program we were going after. Her scores were high enough that they accepted her packet. She is on the road to becoming the doctor she wants to be. I just wanted to say thank you for your flexibility in allowing her to take the test as fast as we requested it. We were on a very tight deadline and could not have done this w/o you. You see, that test was the deal breaker for her getting into the program and no other educational/testing facility was willing to work w/ our short deadline. So your flexibility was appreciated.

She has been my 8th grade daughter's tutor now for a year. Angela obviously loves teaching and her enthusiasm for math is exactly what I was looking for. My daughter looks forward to her time with Angela because she is so good at explaining problem-solving methods and strategies that are easy to remember. I love the fact that whenever my daughter gets a problem wrong or seems confused, Angela never just gives her the answer; she instead leads her on a "pathway" to solving the problem correctly, which has helped tremendously to build my daughter's confidence.
Sincerely,

Greetings Ann Dolin,
We wanted to express our appreciation for the superior service we received at Educational Connections, Inc. We have used other testing centers, but we were impressed with your courteous employees and the comfortable environment in the center.
Thanks to Laura Rheinauer's advice, we were able to plan the logistics of our son's SSAT test and help him prepare for it in a timely manner. Laura's knowledge and caring nature put everyone at ease.
We will definitely use Education Connections, Inc. in the future and recommend it to our friends.
Sincerely,
Naoko and Michael Slack
Alex was having some real difficulties reading and we asked you for an assessment. You concluded that Alex was dyslexic and also suggested there may be some other learning disabilities. You recommended we have him privately tested and you arranged for a tutort work with Alex on his reading. His evaluation concluded that Alex had ADD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia. Alex continued to work with his tutor and also had some great teachers at his elementary school. Over the last 4 or 5 years, Alex has really blossomed into a fine student. He consistently brings home A's and B's and scores very well on his standardized tests. He occassionally still struggles with organizational issues, but overall, he is extremely diligent about completing his homework assignments. At his most recent Parent Teacher conference, his teacher told us that Alex was in the highest reading group in the entire 6th grade. As I am sure you can appreciate, this is a remarkable achievement. We are so proud of him and he is very proud of himself. The progress he has made over these past five years has really helped him become a happy and confident young man. Thank you for pointing us in the right direction so many years ago. Ann, thanks again for all of the help and guidance you and your tutors have provided to our family over the past several years. You have greatly contributed to my son's success!

Just had to let you know: Meredith got an 87 (B ) on her Biology chapter test!!!!!! She is still floating about 9 ft. in the air. Thank you so much for saving our girl. She has gone from an F and a slim chance of being able to return to this school next year to a B . “Thank you” will never convey how much we appreciate your help and what you’ve done for Meredith. She never could have achieved this without your help and your ability to help her understand. You are the best – bless you!

Sage has been tutoring our daughter in reading whose Lexile Reading score went from 901 on September 18 to 114 on February 5th and her percentile rank went from 53% to 86%. Perhaps more importantly, she doesn't fight so hard in reading and even reads for pleasure, albeit occasionally. Sage immediately connected with our daughter had great insight into her strengths and weaknesses and has tried a number of different ideas to boost her confidence as well as get the reading skills down. We are eternally grateful for all she has done and for you for sending her to us. I think Sage will prove to be that great teacher that most of us remember all our lives.
